Orthogonal projection method in scattering theory
This work gives a detailed account of the orthogonal projection method in the theory of two- and three-body scattering, which is based on the employment of orthogonal projecting pseudopotentials. The method is applied to a number of physical problems, of which the following are the most important: the improvement of convergence and the rearrangement of Born series to make them convergent at low energies in the presence of bound states in a system, as well as the consideration of the Pauli exclusion principle in the scattering of composite particles and in the integral theory of direct nuclear reactions. The properties of eigenvalues of kernels of the equations obtained are investigated and the conditions for the convergence of their iterations are derived. For the three-body problem, the general case of three different particles is considered, as well as two particular cases, namely, two particles in the field of a heavy core and three identical particles. The proven theorems are listed and discussed, in particular, those in solid-state physics and in the theory of electromagnetic transitions. The approach suggested is compared with those of the other authors and the prospects of using the developed formalism are discussed.
